via 6421 hangs with 2 disks attached

[Oltion Kola]

Hi,

I have a problem with my pci sata controller with a via chipset:

When i attach 2 disks to the controller, the kernel hangs at the moment 
it detects the 2 disks. I can not attach logs as the system is 
unresponsive after that. With only one disk everything is ok.

Tested with all kernels.

This is my pci print for the card:

I have put some information also in 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/570434 as it is an 
old bug.

Let me know if I can do anything to help.

Thanks.
